I recently got myself a Seagate Tapestor3200 TR3/QIC 3020 tape drive. It works fine under DOS, however when I try to backup anything in Linux, I get the following errors:
May 28 19:43:36 whoever kernel: [047]ftape-write.c (ftape_write_segment) - write error, retry 1 (399). May 28 19:43:46 whoever kernel: [048]ftape-write.c (ftape_write_segment) - write error, retry 1 (415). May 28 19:44:42 whoever kernel: [049]ftape-write.c (ftape_write_segment) - write error, retry 1 (615). I get tons of messages like this in my /var/adm/messages, and I hear the tape start and stop moving all the time, instead of moving continuously as it does under DOS. I tried using it with both zftape and ftape devices, but I still get the same errors. I am using ftape-3.03 from sunsite. Is this a known ftape-driver bug? HOWTO seems to imply that all drives conforming to QIC TR* standards should work, and AFAIK, my model is pretty standard. Thanks in advance for the help. -- Proudly running Debian Linux!
